Communicate with PC over TCP/IP, read/update DI/DO using Python or another computer language

    Hello,

    We have a LR Mate 200iD with a 30iB controller.

    If I wanted to read DI / DO from a PC or Mac computer, and update too, how would I be able to do that?

    I set up ethernet / ip with my PC, just put the ip address in and pinged it and that works fine.

    I'm guessing something with socket programming but wasn't sure how.

    Thanks.

    Indeed, Fanuc robot controllers natively support TCP protocols that allow interaction with them from a PC app.
    You can take a look at what UnderAutomation has to offer (implementation of numerous protocols in .NET, Python, LabVIEW, and Matlab).

    For instance in C# for read/update DI/DO :

    C#
    // Read and Write I/O (SDI,SDO,RDI,RDO,UI,UO,SI,SO,WI,WO,WSI,PMC_K,PMC_R)
robot.Snpx.RDO.Write(1, true);
ushort ai5 = robot.Snpx.AI.Read(5);

// Read and Write analogs (AI,AO,GI,GO,PMC_D)
robot.Snpx.AO.Write(2, 5);
ushort ao3 = robot.Snpx.AO.Read(3);
